Upload a jpg or png of the background for your character’s walk cycle in a post on your portfolio, and add a link here. Add any thoughts you have why you drew the background you choose, what it has to do with your character, or anything else you think is relevant..
My background much like my character is based on classic Looney Tunes esthetics and old western tropes. I attempted to keep the palet minimal and balance foreground and background elements so the character still has room to move across.
This was a challenge for me a little because I am not used to drawing backgrounds, but overall it was a fun experience. As I begin to learn more and more on how to use the adobe tools as well as organizing my layers, projects become less of a hassle for me. I did not want to create too much of a complex background as I thought it will stand out more over my character, so I made it as simple as I could.
This took me sometime because I haven’t used illustrator since last semester but I started to get the hang of it again. Another thing is I added a house and some clouds and a sun so it didn’t look like Leah was standing in the middle of no where. While she was waiting for her Lyft driver.
I mostly drew these in Procreate on my iPad then transferred them over to Illustrator. I then flipped my image over and pasted it across the file to make it seem like it’s longer. The only thing I added towards the end of the image is the drawn in the pink bubble (as well as the sun in the desert background.)
